The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit

For anyone who wants to understand Shenzhen Injoinic TechnologyLtd's profit beyond the statutory numbers, it's important to note that during the last twelve months statutory profit was reduced by CN¥4.2m due to unusual items. It's never great to see unusual items costing the company profits, but on the upside, things might improve sooner rather than later. We looked at thousands of listed companies and found that unusual items are very often one-off in nature. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. If Shenzhen Injoinic TechnologyLtd doesn't see those unusual expenses repeat, then all else being equal we'd expect its profit to increase over the coming year.

Our Take On Shenzhen Injoinic TechnologyLtd's Profit Performance

Unusual items (expenses) detracted from Shenzhen Injoinic TechnologyLtd's earnings over the last year, but we might see an improvement next year. Based on this observation, we consider it likely that Shenzhen Injoinic TechnologyLtd's statutory profit actually understates its earnings potential!
